An Australian teen had to cancel her 16th birthday party after a Facebook invitation she sent out to a "few friends" went viral.

Close to 200,000 people replied "Yes" on the public invite, which included her home address.

She wrote on the invite, "(It's an) open house party as long as it doesn't get out of hand."

LOL! Um, too late!

Within 20 hours, 20,000 people had responded and by 48 hours, the number of RSVPs were close to 200,000.

The girl's father said she was unaware of Facebook's privacy settings and added, "She was just anxious about whether anyone would show up to her birthday."

Luckily for her and her father, police have stepped in. "The father has given us an undertaking that he will have the Facebook page removed and the party will definitely not be going on," said police inspector Terry Dalton. "There will be no party at that address. The only thing that anybody who turns up on that street will be met by will be some police vehicles patrolling the area."

So much fail, but at least she was able to get the police involved before anybody showed up to her home.
